Out of the Unknown
Out of lightning into reality.
Out of chemistry into biology.
Out of nothing into life.
From the darkness into light.
From the mindless into thought.
From lifeless to where it’s rife.

There are many great mysteries. One of the biggest is the question of how life arose.
How did a bunch of chemicals become infused with life?
What strange reaction occurred to imbue inorganic molecules with life?
In a universe full of wonder there was nothing to see, hear, touch, taste or smell it. All that incredible majesty was unnoticed.
Then came life and the light, sound, touch, smell and taste came alive. The unverse had a witness.
Over billions of years this life was honed through mutation and evolution into the myriad forms we see around us. Each one a wonder.
This is incredible.
I live.
I walk. I eat. I breathe. I see. I think.
I am conscious.
Nobody knows how.
I find that too amazing for words.
Some invent god to explain it.
Why replace one incredible wonder with another?
Just marvel at it.
That is enough.
